Who Gets to Change Bitcoin? (w/ Will Foxley & ArbedOut)

Listen Later

Drew Armstrong sits down with Will Foxley and ArbedOut for a wide-ranging fireside chat about:


    • Why even Bitcoin’s top developers can’t agree on how to change Bitcoin
    • How obscure opcodes like OP_CAT and OP_CTV are driving ideological rifts
    • The “Great Consensus Cleanup” proposal and the real threats it’s trying to fix
    • Why some believe we should do a low-stakes soft fork just to prove we still can
    • How miner ignorance, core dev vetoes, and reputational politics shape protocol progress
    • The unlikely impact of NFTs, sandwich emojis, and anime cats on Bitcoin governance
    • What’s actually needed to activate a soft fork — and why we probably aren’t close
